Recap of The Wyatts facing Cena on RAW last week. Bray stole the show, cradling Cena's head and singing to him.

In Ring Segment

There's a cage around the ring already, and Cena's music hits. He comes out looking quite nervously at the cage. Cena into the cage, looks around nervously. The announcers say that later the Usos will defend against RybAxel, Steph will apologize to Bryan, and Reigns will face Orton. Mixed reaction to Cena, much of it heat.

Cena – Why? (more heat) Why? (and more heat) Why did you, along with the 11 million people, why did I deserve last week? Why?

"You suck!"

Cena – The 'Universe' was given the choice of a fair fight, or no chance against insurmountable odds. Why? Because Bray Wyatt wanted to show how you feel about me? (pop) You know, as the votes came in, the 'Universe' chose to give me no chance. I was forced to face all three of The Wyatt Family. Why? Someone once said you either die a hero, or live long enough to become a villain. I believe that, because almost ten years ago, in this ring, in St. Louis, I was drafted to RAW. You think you're loud now? That night I heard the loudest ovation I've heard in my entire career. But I guess now times have changed. I don't fault you guys for that. You changed. I changed. The WWE 'Universe' has changed. Hell, I've had some good times with you guys. And some nights tougher than normal, but through that all, I've never abandoned you, and always put the WWE first. So I ask, why? Why are you drawn to Bray Wyatt? I know how this works! I know there's a life cycle. I know there's a time that I'm going to have to step aside. You know what? I agree with you all, and I'm excited for that because I see greatness in the WWE Superstars. Names like Reigns, Cesaro, Rollins, Bryan!

"YES!" "YES!" "YES!"

Cena – I'm going to throws some names at you that you don't know. NXT Superstars like Adrian Neville, Samy Zayn. These guys got heart, passion, the same passion I have for the WWE, for you. I'm here tonight to tell you that Bray is a dangerous man. He's not like them. He's like something we've never seen before. He's a mystery, and when he speaks, it's beautiful, it's captivating, it's motivating. Bray's heart is cold, and his passion isn't the WWE. Bray Wyatt's passion is Bray Wyatt's. So, why? Why am I in this cage? Because Sunday, the members of The Wyatts will be kept out, but Bray message will be kept in. You don't understand it. When he sings, you believe it. When he escapes Sunday, so does his message. He will continue to corrupt and manipulate. I see you out there, you don't understand. Soon it will be Bray versus the world, and the world doesn't understand.

DEP!

A young and beautiful voice singing - He's got the whole world, in his hands. He's got the whole wide world, in his hands. He's got the whole world, in his hands. He's going the whole world in his hands. (More voices come into the song.) He's got the little bitty baby, in his hands. He's got the little bitty baby, in his hands. He's got the whole world in his hands. He's got you and me brother, in his hands. He's got you and me sister, in his hands. He's got you and me brother, in his hands. He's got the whole world in his hands. He's got the whole, in his hands. He's got the whole wide world, in his hands. He's got the whole world, in his hands. He's going the whole world in his hands.

A whole choir of children (as Richard posted on WNW this week), on the stage in black choir robes singing.

They've go everybody here, in his hands. He's got everybody here, in his hands. He's got the whole world in his hands.

Bray – He's got the whole, in his hands. He's got the whole wide world, in his hands. He's got the whole world, in his hands. He's going the whole world in his hands. Sing with me children, little bitty babies. He's got the little bitty baby, in his hands. He's got the little bitty baby, in his hands. He's got the whole world in his hands. How about the whole Cenation? He's got the Cenation, in his hands. He's got the Cenation, in his hands. He's got the whole world, in his hands.

The kids come down the ramp with The Wyatts, and circle the caged ring as they sing.

Bray - How about the big bad monster? He's got the big bad monster, in his hands. He's got the big bad monster, in his hands. He's got the whole world, in his hands.

Much heat for The Wyatts for corrupting the whole choir. The lights go down, and when the lights come up, all the kids, standing around the ring, looking in, are wearing sheep masks. Cena's head in his hand at the whole spectacle of it. Bray has one of the kids in his lap as he sits in his rocker, smiling and laughing.

The camera comes in close on the child sitting on Bray's knee, right in close on the sheep mask.

DEP!

Heyman – I'm disappointed in RVD. He's an original Paul Heyman Guy. You think anybody would have risked their reputation like I did for RVD. He got under my skin, and the last guy who did that was Taker, and look what happened to me. I'm not offended by what RVD said about me, he's 100% right, I'm a liar, a conniver, ruthless, and completely uninhibited in my unethical in my approach to business, but I take my clients to the top.

Cesaro – That's all I needed to hear.

In Ring Segment

Ziggler – Thank you WWE 'Universe', you deserve that. This is my favorite time of year. It's getting a bit warmer, the bikinis are showing off the babes getting hotter, and the super heroes return to the big screen. Explosions, wall to wall action, but enough about my place on a Saturday night, I am talking about the newest X Men movie! Days of Future Past.

Jackman out slapping hands, signing on his way to the ring. He's all excited to be there. He hugs Ziggler in the ring.

Jackman – St. Louis! St. Louis! St. Louis!

Ziggler – How to work a crowd, buddy!

Jackman – I gotta tell you, it's good to be back on Monday night RAW. I loved hosting a few years back. You know why? I've done some big things in my career. The Oscars, Broadway, but I gotta tell you, this is one of the biggest, most exciting shows out there. Right here! Because of the fan, the intense action, the Superstar. Dolph, you know what I love? Anything can happen man, and something always does.

Ziggler – Funny you should mention that Hugh. Last time you were here, woo woo woo, you know it, something actually happened to me. This...

Video of Jackman punching Ziggler out from the apron.

Jackman – I wasn't going to bring it up.

Ziggler – I'll be honest, Swagger's kicked me harder than that. If you're going to get punched out, it might as well be by the most bad assed superhero on the planet. You got a RAW moment, and I got national exposure, and the WWE 'Universe' got a great moment in the ring.

Jackman – Shake on it?

Ziggler – Bury the hatchet buddy.

Ziggler raises Jackman's hand.

Evil villain music, and out comes Sandow wearing a masked hoodie and a cape – all red and purple.

Sandow – I am Magneto!

Ziggler – Serious bro?

Sandow – Master of magnetism, and I'm pleased to announce for the first time, that the greatest mastermind in cinema is being portrayed by somebody who is actually intelligent! I have come here tonight so that you, the inferior insects of the WWE 'Universe' an see me in all my greatness. Be quiet I'm not finished! I look and see all of you trembling at the sight of me.

Ziggler and Jackman are laughing and snorting in the ring. Sandow isn't impressed.

Sandow – But then I look in the ring, and see a blond halfwit, not trembling because of me, but trembling because he is star struck.

Sandow into the ring.

Sandow – I mean Dolph, you look ridiculous, stop shaking.

Jackman and Ziggler both laugh.

Jackman pointing at Ziggler – He looks ridiculous?

Ziggler – You tripped on your cape when you said that, by the way.

Sandow – This is not a joke. Now, Hugh, or, excise me, Wolverine. You're some kind of a mutant? That's what you're supposed to be?

Jackman – Yeah.

Sandow – Dolph, I'm not sure what that makes you, but you're out here acting your hair color, as per usual. (Ziggler actually bothered to bleach his roots for this.)

Ziggler – Super rad?

Sandow – Silence! So, tonight, the two of you will meet the same fate.

Jackman – What does that mean?

Ziggler – I don't know. I don't speak jive, I don't know.

"Knock him out!"

Sandow – Don't tell me what to do!

Ziggler and Jackman are about falling over themselves laughing.

Sandow – I am Magneto!

Jackman – Did you make your costume Magneto? Awesome costume, awesome. Serious, just. Love it, am I allowed to touch the cape. The zipper is awesome.

Sandow – You done?

Jackman – Just admiring it.

Sandow – You're finished.

Jackman – I'm done.

Sandow – We're not going to be hearing more from Wolverine?

Jackman – I'm good.

Sandow – You're exactly right! Behold, the power of magnetism. You will not say another word.

Ziggler steps up to say something as Sandow is getting into character.

Swagger vs Cesaro

Swagger to the ring with Zeb in tow. Video of Zeb and Heyman debating on Smackdown. It devolved to old men pushing each other around.

Heyman – My name is Paul Heyman. (heat) That's not the affirmation I'm seeking from you. You're buying into this advocate, agent, manager persona too much. I'm just a father of two small children at home. They think I'm jovial at home. They think I'm likeable. They think I'm funny. I really am a funny guy. So let's start this over again in 3-2-1. (HEAT) I'll prove it to you, a little out of character. I'm going to tell you a joke. Ready? Knock, knock...

Who's there?

Heyman – Mike!

Mike, who?

Heyman – Mi-klient, Brock Lesnar conquered the Undertaker's undefeated streak at WrestleMania! Mike. You get it, my client? WrestleMania. No? Is this thing on? Hello? Okay. I'll never mention the streak again. (pop) However, my client, Cesaro, won the Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal at WrestleMania to which I give to you, the next top tier talent in WWE, the Swiss Superman, the King of Swing, Cesaro!

Renee – Tonight you have the opportunity to become #1 contender to the IC Championship if you secure victory over Bad News Barrett. What's your mindset going into tonight's match?

RVD – Renee, I've held the IC Title six times, and seven is my lucky number. Barrett likes to deliver bad news, but tonight he's going to receive some from Rob Van Dam!

Zeb – Excuse me Mr. Van Dam, I have something I need to ask you. It just occurred to me that we have something in common. We have a common enemy, and that's Paul Heyman. Sometimes common enemies make for spectacular alliances, so I have a proposition for you. Since you don't like him, and I can't stand the ground he walks on, I suggest we combine our resources, work together, and get rid of our common enemy. Agree.

RVD – Thanks for the offer, but I have, what do you call it? A mind of my own. So, thanks for the offer but, I don't need to join anyone, I just need to continue being RVD! Thanks anyway.

Video recap of Kane's attack on Bryan last week on RAW.

Steph – What happened last week was a senseless tragedy. I tried to stop Kane, but the demon is unstoppable. Daniel, I'd like the opportunity to make this up to you, if you could please come out here.

No Bryan.

Steph – Daniel, the 'Universe' wants you to come out here, please come out here.

Bryan out in a soft collar, Brie by his side leading the "YES!" "YES!" "YES!" chants, wearing the "YES!" hoodie. Bryan looks pissed. "Daniel Bryan!" chants fill the arena.

Bryan – You know Steph, I almost believed you when you said you wanted Kane to stop. I almost believed you that you truly wanted him to stop. I almost believed you, but everyone knows that you're full of crap.

"YES!" "YES!" "YES!"

Steph – Alright, I've earned that. I don't blame you for thinking I'm disingenuous Daniel. But I need for you to understand, let's get honest. Trip and I never wanted you to be WWE WHC, it's no secret. I'm telling you the truth. We went to great lengths to stop you. Our emotions ran high, they got a little out of control.

Bryan – They ran a little high? You emotions ran a little high? How do you think my wife felt with all the things you did. How do you think my wife felt when you slapped me across the face? How do you think my wife felt when your husband put my head in a bucket of water and you yelled, drown him? She felt a lot of emotions, but I told her to not do anything, and she respects me and knows I can do it on my own.

Steph – And you did, you did it on your own, and you became WWE WHC. Now all I was trying to do was give my DOO a back bone. I wanted to give you a credible opponent at Extreme Rules. He became the demon and he went way too far. Brie, I know what it feels like to have your husband stretchered out of an arena. I've ridden with Hunter in ambulances, and slept by his hospital bed. It's no way for a wife to see her husband, and through all of that, I want to say to both of you, on behalf of my entire family, I'm sorry. I apologize for everything. Unleashing the demon, for what Kane did. For unleashing the heartache. I'm truly sorry.

"NO!" "NO!" "NO!"

Bryan – I think the audience agrees with me when I think you're still full of crap.

"YES!" "YES!" "YES!"

Steph – Well, then Daniel, I don't know how else to prove it. Unless you Come to the ring and look me in my eyes and see if I can convince you otherwise.

Bryan – Come down there and look you in your eyes.

Steph – Yes.

Bryan – What do you think I'm going to see in those eyes? You know what I'm going to see? I'm still going to see a liar. I know that at the snap of your fingers you can have Kane come out here and attack me. You can have him do something to my wife, but let me tell you something. My head hurts, bad. I can't move my neck, but I have never, ever, ever, ever given up, okay! My doctor cleared me for Extreme Rules and I will be there, because I know what you think. You think that Kane is going to take me out. But I promise you this, if he takes me down, I'm taking him down with me, straight to hell.

Steph – Truth me told, I don't know where Kane is, I haven't seen him tonight, but I know his mask has been locked up in my office. While, Daniel you can't compete until Extreme Rules, Brie can. I've thought of an opportunity to make it up to you, because I can think of nothing better than the two of you side by side, holding hands in this ring, both as Champion. Tamina Snuka will be facing the Divas Champion at Extreme Rules. But who will be Diva Champion, will it be Paige, or will it be you Brie, because you're facing Paige in this ring for the Divas Championship.

Bryan – If you think I'm going to let Brie walk down there alone, you're crazy.

Renee – I just got word that John is ready to conduct an interview. (Cena comes out of his dressing room.) John...

Cena – First things first, Renee, I'm sorry. I didn't know what to think about seeing the childrens choir in sheep masks, it just didn't sit well with me. But it proves me right about Bray, he will go to great lengths to manipulate and send his message. More importantly, I was wrong about something tonight, and I'm so glad I was. I was so caught up in Bray's mind games, and came out tonight on RAW and thought the 'Universe' had turned their backs on me, but I was wrong. They were having fun with their chants. There was noise, which is passion and excitement. There was hope, and hope is fight, and nobody knows fight like John Cena. "We, the people!", this Sunday, the mind games stop. I'm putting an end to this message. I got special plans for Bray this Sunday. I'm going to buy him a mule. That's right, a donkey, a full grown burrow, pay top dollar for it, he can teach it to sing, we can call it Glutious. He can bring it to the ring. Him and his new donkey friend can walk to the age. I hope he remembers his donkey, because if he doesn't, an uncomfortable moment for Wyatt, they're going to be singing his song! He's got the whole world, in his hands. But this will be the last time he has the whole world in his hands, because he'll have my fist in his face, and my boot in his ass!

Bad News Barrett

The pedestal raises, and Barrett is in his ring gear, but where the podium is, in front of his trunks, he looks mostly naked up there!

Barrett – RVD thinks he's about to beat me to be the #1 contender for the IC Championship. Well Rob, I'm afraid I've got some bad news! See, WWE slogan is – Then. Now. Forever. RVD's slogan should simply be 'then', because then is the last time RVD was in any way relevant. I was back in England wearing diapers the last time RVD won the IC Championship. After I'm finished with him this evening, he'll be back in diapers, drinking his meals through a straw, all because of me, BNB!

Ambrose – The clock is ticking for Evolution, Extreme Rules, The Shield is going to expose the fact that evolution has passed you by. The hounds of justice are going to do what we always do, we're going to take you apart, chew you up, and spit you out.

Rollins – Evolution is all about control. All about power. They like to flaunt their Rolex watches, ride around in their long limos, and wear very expensive suits, because they believe that they are symbols of power. Well, they're not. They are just things that small men do to make themselves feel bigger about themselves. This (fist) is power, true power, the new symbol of excellence and we prove it every single night we step in the ring. When the three of you finally get the guts to face us, you're going to find out what true power is.

Reigns – For years now, Randy Orton says he's the future. But from where I'm standing, he looks more like the past. This here (fist) this is today. Tomorrow. This is the future. Believe that. And believe in The Shield.

Commercial

Announce Segment

Ambrose will be facing RybAxel and ADR in a 3 On 1 Handicap Match on Smackdown this week.

Orton vs Reigns

Evolution's music and Trip, in his power suit, leads Orton and a suited Batista out. Into the ring and Orton poses.

Trip – Friday The Shield took out 11 guys. A part of me feels I should be mad, but I'm not. I'm impressed. The Shield are starting to remind me of someone. Oh yeah, us. The Shield is starting to remind me of us.

Orton – Yeah, Hunter, but The Shield thinks they're the new Evo, and there's a problem with that.

Batista – The problem is, we're still here. They'll never be us, never.

Trip – See, the thing is The Shield, I brought you into this world, and we're the three guys who are going to take you out of it. On Sunday you will adapt, or, I promise you, you will perish.

The Shield out through the crowd. Ambrose leads them, then Rollins, and Reigns brings up the rear. Trip and Batista stay in the ring, staring as The Shield gets in the ring. The ref between them all, tells the rest to leave, but then, "Wooooo!" Flair's music hits to such little reaction that I'm in shock. The fans are there, but nothing like I'd expect for Flair. Flair into the ring, hugs to Orton, Trip, and Batista. Evo are all smiles.

Flair – Is this St.Louis, Missouri? Have I ever been here before? I have, and I've had a lot of fun, thank you. I'm here to tell the world that it's great being in the ring with men who exude what this business is all about! Dominance! I ran for years with the Four Horsemen, ran up and down the road, we ran wild. But we controlled the marketplace. We styled, wooooo, and we profiled! The same can be said for Evolution. Good lord Dave, I miss seeing you out on Saturday nights. You too buddy (Orton). You (Trip) were always home eating a rib eye. You know I have seen everything come full circle. The word greatness comes full circle. Tonight I'm surrounded with Superstars who exemplify power, style, and grace. But what I'm talking about now, is The Shield!

Flair shakes hands with Rollins, then Reigns, then Ambrose.

Flair leaves the ring and leaves Evo shocked and shaking their heads!

Orton rushes Reigns, but eats blows. Reigns all over Orton, but Orton back with head butts. Blows back and forth. Reigns tosses out. Orton out and they exchange blows. Kicks to Orton as the fans don't make a sound. Reigns blocks Orton, lands his own suplex outside the ring. The fans are in awe of Flair siding with The Shield. In to break the count, then Orton fights back, sends Reigns into the stairs. Orton taunts The Shield, and Trip over to guard Orton. Reigns eats stairs again, then sent in. Orton gets one in there.

Orton on Reigns' hair, then a facelock on the mat. Reigns up to his feet and punches out. Orton clotheslines Reigns from the ring. Orton reaches out, pulls Reigns up, pulls him in, but Reigns avoids the DDT. Orton on Reigns with blows, then whips Reigns, but Reigns comes out with a huge clothesline. Reigns runs the ropes into another clothesline. Clothesline on Orton in a corner. Orton hangs on the bottom rope, so Reigns out for his running kick. Reigns into the ring, but Trip pulls Reigns' leg. Orton on Reigns with a back breaker and the fight breaks out outside the ring. Ambrose on Trip, Batista and Rollins. Ambrose across announce. Superman punch in the ring to Orton! Reigns out and starts punching Batista and Trip.

No Contest (4:44)

The three of them on Reigns, take him down. Batista pulls Ambrose over announce, then bouncing him on the table. Orton bounces Ambrose. Reigns into the stairs by Trip. Rollins into the barricade. Orton throws Ambrose into Batista and a spine buster on the floor. Trip sends Rollins into the post. Orton poses to a little hometown pop. Evo stalks over and around The Shield. Off comes Trip's shirt. Ambrose tossed into the ring. Then Reigns into the ring. Orton stomps his way around Reigns. A kick to Ambrose's ribs from Orton. Batista stomps Reigns. Ambrose struggles to his feet and Trip takes him down. Trip sets up for the pedigree, but Reigns off the top. Ambrose and Rollins fight back. Batista out, then Orton out, so Trip takes Reigns' spear! Rollins motions, and they start setting up Trip, but Orton and Batista with chairs. They're taken out, but Trip flees in the process.

Evo on the bottom of the ramp, Trip selling his ribs from the spear, and The Shield in the ring ready to fight some more!

Watching all the WCW PPVs, he was mentioned and seen quite a bit. I was shocked when I heard.

Danny Philippi

With Raw at St. Louis, does Randy Orton get the hometown jobbing tonight to one of The Shield members?
A. Yes
B. No
C. Orton won’t be booked for a match
D. Who cares? Orton’s not the WWE World Champion anymore.

Ty

how bout them bobcats?

Danny Philippi

With Jefferson out, the Heat should get the brooms like Bubba got the wood last night at Sacrifice.

Jesse Sherwood

Spurs are going to win tonight and then steamroll the rest of the way to the Finals, where they will get revenge against the Heat!

Ty

Spurs/Mavs is the best series so far. Both teams know each other way too much for there to be a lopsided game.

Mike McCarthy

Comeback time! Kemba’s gonna take us all the way!!

Ty

It’s the perfect time to elevate his game, he’s doing great so far, they just gotta remember there’s 3 more quarters.

Mike McCarthy

yeah but normally they forget that part, they start out strong and ease out

Was working on it today, I guess I sent him the wrong email addy for you, though I know I cut and pasted from my employee files, so I have to check on that. But, this means you NEED to be in the Live Blog on Sunday!

Cena just showed just how loaded this roster really is with talent and faces. Maybe we are finally hitting the perfect time to hit the button on Cena.

Evon Callaway Bitterweed Reese

I think instead of a turn he teams with The Shield

Cubed56

Dear god please NO!!!!!!

Evon Callaway Bitterweed Reese

It was a cool of him to give all that talent a shout out

Gesus Oliver

NXT super stars and doesn’t plug Gesus Oliver writing for them weekly results? Well the nerve of him! To those who don’t know, I Gesus Oliver write weekly live results for NXT. Come join Thursday nights.

Crowd booed kids!!! I told you that there were people who hate Cena because he loves kids. Now here’s the proof most of the so called smarks in the crowd hates kids. Chanting “No! No!” and booing the segment…

This is a creepy and excellent use of symbolism to tell the story of a hero and people who don’t want to be saved by the cultist…and a cult leader. That was one of the most brilliant things I’ve seen in quite sometime.

Alright, over 10 of us are having Disqus problems. If the feed seems like no one is talking, just refresh the page and it’ll work fine for a few minutes. There are a bunch of updates on Disqus and not all are clearly rolled out.

Jesse Sherwood

Yeah, even all of us mods are having them. I’m investigating, but it looks to be on Disqus’ side, and I can’t control that.

Here I thought everyone was too compelled by Bray Wyatt to type anything, and it turns out this was just messing up.

Peteya56

I was thinking the same thing!!! HAHA

Eric

That might of been the best segment in 5 years. Wow just wow.

Charlie Crimefighter Hovey

Occupy cena lol

Charlie Crimefighter Hovey

I got the whole world in my hands… I got the whole world in my hands.. This song rocks!!!

ldb

now the rest of the card will look like Tna booking next to that awesomeness

Jesse Sherwood

Sadly, I have to agree.

Seth

Bray Wyatt now has the whole wrestling world in his hands after that segment. Credit to Cena for selling it as well because you FELT like with his reaction you knew it was an entire world crashing down…and Bray is setting out to do what he wanted to do…not win a match but to destroy Cena’s world. In a creepy fashion…he just succeeded and like any villain would do in that situation…he gloated about it…in the most sadistic fashion.

They do. They pay closer attention to his matches then any other match.

Mike McCarthy

Rybaxel going over is the right move, even if they put the titles back on Usos.

Dustyn

Wonder who came up with that idea?

savokes

So…does Cena go over on Sunday, or will they keep the feud going?

Mike McCarthy

Wyatt without a doubt

savokes

I agree! Hopefully creative does as well

Cubed56

I don’t think Wyatt has to go over though, the whole point of this feud is for him to break cena down and expose him , he doesn’t care about winning, all they have to do is continue the character change of cena and the feud can continue

Avalanchian

I think Cena might rejoin the chain gang. Wyatt is only out to bring out the old Cena.

Chris

That was an amazingly creepy segment. I can’t help but feel it would have been more effective if Wyatt went over at Mania. Hopefully he’ll go over at Extreme Rules, and have Cena build up to Payback

K!NG

I am prlly the only one who would like to see rybaxel win

Mike McCarthy

You’re actually in the majority imo, Ryback and Axel compliment each other very well as a tag team.

K!NG

i think if they find a groove as a tag team it could save both of their careers

Dustyn

Are those pec tattoo’s on the Uso’s new, or have they been there a while?

There are just so many good tag teams right now that I want a back and forth. The Brotherhood should get one more reign before they break up.

Seth

I have the opposite theory. Make it so important that the best teams hold it that the very best hold it…because if everyone and their grandmother holds it even if they are all talented…it delutes the belts.

That’s what you get for stealing your dad’s finisher! Great tag match!

Dustyn

You happy CJ?

Scott

That was a good match!!!

Danny Philippi

That tag match puts any tag match from any other promotion to shame.

ldb

I know you ain’t talking bout Bromans….Bro.

Tony Rankin

Beer Money and the Motor City Machine Guns would like a word

Eric

Wow way to make rybaxel look incredibly weak

Cubed56

they didn’t look weak at all if anything it sold them as legit contenders for the tag titles

Eric

They lost to an injured team. Why do an injury angle if they weren’t going to lose the straps

Cubed56

they were on the verge of winning them. like I said it showed they are legit contenders and it also showed the usos grit and made them look like champions that are willing to give everything they’ve got to retain those titles

Harlie Boucher

I think the next tag team they strap, will be the Wyatts.

CJ Blaze

That would probably be the best choice

Evon Callaway Bitterweed Reese

That made the Usos look strong by winning injured but made Ryback and Axel look like crap.

Mike McCarthy

Disagree, showed the fans that Rybaxel can work

Cubed56

Tonight everyone will be reminded why Reigns is not ready for his singles push just yet. I hope im wrong but I don’t see him improving that much since his one on one match with Bray

Jonathan Daniel

Orton will make Reigns look good

Cubed56

I really hope so, Bray was trying to also, but Reigns just looked lost

Evon Callaway Bitterweed Reese

I hope your wrong too

K!NG

I just think the longer they wait on reigns the bigger the pay off.

Cubed56

agreed

Mandy

WWE is really going all out with tonight’s RAW, the opening segment was awesome, tag team match was good and later Roman v/s Randy. I’m enjoying RAW after a long time!

I’ll say this though. It isn’t the WORST thing they’ve done to Titus during this time frame. His best asset isn’t in the ring anyway. If they want him to get over…they need to give him more time on the microphone on television. Not on the damn apps or preshows…but on TV. Give him three minutes to talk entertainingly about how he’s going to kick someone’s ass. That’s all.

I miss the old “star” Jobbers. Barry Horowitz, Mike Sharpe, Brooklyn Brawler. You knew they weren’t gonna win but I always liked the hope for them and the great jobs they did. Bring back Super Jobbers.

those aren’t leaked. They were publicly available all weekend. We just didn’t report them because no one cares. She came out as bi a long time ago.

Seth

God bless her. She’s a wonderful woman by all accounts, great at her craft…allow her to date who she wants regardless of the sex. Tis my view on it. If anything, kind’a just makes me want to see her succeed just a little bit more.

That girls had 10 abortions and shes only 8 shes the best wrestler alie ! sorry had to quote that

Mr.V

Man I was offended by that episode the first time I saw it but after seeing it again (and again) I totally get it and now feel comfortable calling two guys that hate each other nose to nose and getting separated before they go at it … or what we saw earlier from Waytt “wrestling” it’s weird.

Say what you will about the character, but the man is absolutely a saint when it comes to charity work. Regardless of anything else, the man will be remembered for his selfless dedication to Make-A-Wish.

Cubed56

don’t you mean say what you want about the man? Cena is amazing when it comes to Make-A-Wish, as far as everything else, hes really nothing that represents a role model.

Jesse Sherwood

That’s why I put it the way I did. You can trash the character all you want, but the man behind it is great.

Cubed56

I was actually talking about the man.

Evon Callaway Bitterweed Reese

Do you think that’s why he doesn’t want any children because he sees so many sick ones? I bet he would make an awesome Dad.

David Jr.

I think its because he’s so dedicated to WWE that he won’t have time for a kid and he doesn’t want a child to be raised without his father.

Evon Callaway Bitterweed Reese

That makes sense

David Jr.

Wrestling side of me says no, I think one day he should, but the working side of me says yes, never should turn heel.

I know what the problem is with WWE: Serious feuds and storylines mixing with comical bits. WWE needs one whole hour straight with comedy and two whole hours of serious professional wrestling.

BlazeKing

They used to have that in the attitude era. 1st hour was the “RAW Zone” where it was held back a little bit because it’s still early and kids might still be up. 10pm hit and the show turned into the “WAR Zone” where they went all out.

Hence the term “Raw is War”. They figuratively “flipped the script” with the show during the last hour.

Gesus Oliver

I don’t a comedic segment but the midgets involved with 3MB is soooo stupid.

Tony Rankin

There are people in Japan that look at the Old Spice commercials thinking “what the hell”

Sorry folks, Tornado knocked out my power, came back on right when the Divas match started. This is, AMAZING. But anyway, can somebody fill me in on what I missed? It went out right after Cesaro vs. Swagger

K!NG

so is under the ring hornswoggles house or kanes lair?

Harlie Boucher

They’re roomies.

Dustyn

They share the monthly costs.

Jesse Sherwood

Yes.

K!NG

i was waiting for the its rollins bathroom comment lol

Jesse Sherwood

Oh, that’s an adjoining room.

Mike McCarthy

I think it’s entirely too small for either of them to live under their.

DVR’s sucks when they come from the cable/satellite provider. Temporarily disconneted? Can’t watch your recordings… Don’t have their service anymore? Can’t watch your recordings… Want their DVR? Pay up to $25 for their “DVR Service” on a DVR BOX and it’s mandatory to pay it if you have a DVR…

If anything, get a PVR and or get another solution that uses the PC for storage.

I’ve been saying Kane needs a title again. I don’t think they’d pull it off Bryan this quickly, but ti would make for some super interesting TVs.

Cubed56

Exactly. I agree they probably wont take it off DB this soon, but it would be interesting, especially if Brie had something to do with it.

David Jr.

While Kane’s a WWE Legend but at 47 years old. His time has past as a world champion.

Dustyn

The last time they had Kane come up from under the ring was when Kane&Cena were feuding a couple years back. And in 2010, I was at the SD taping when Undertaker came up through the ring and attacked Kane. Classic

Harlie Boucher

Time for Kane to abduct Brie and tie her to a cross and drag her out to the ring to marry her…

Seth

Well for the record…I think an extended Brie-Paige match would be pretty good. It seems like the two gelled right away.

Evon Callaway Bitterweed Reese

Yes it looked like it was going to be a good match. I would like to see a repeat with no interference

The fact that Barrett has gotten this gimmick over i think is a testament to him as a performer.

Mr.V

I find it incredible that they were actually able to give another wrestler the moniker “Bad News” … Never knew how Bad News Brown got the name … but I bet it wasnt like this lol … and I think thats really cool

Jesse Sherwood

They actually have a great mashup video on dot com that shows how similar they were.

jdl

Oh damn, 3MB won something.

BlazeKing

I knew the BnB gimmick would be gold as soon as they did it on the JBL & Cole (where’s Renee?) Show.

David F

When will Clem Layfield be on RAW? That gimmick is golden needs to be on TV

BlazeKing

When Hornswoggle becomes the leader of 3MB and kicks Heath out!

David F

Have to give it to Heath he is very funny and entertaining and finds new ways to reinvent himself

Jesse Sherwood

When 3MB finally breaks up.

Eric

Hey RVD, BNB has got some bad news

Scott

I really like BNB! Hes really got a good thing going with that gimmick. He can even get intense with “Ive got some bad news” if hes really ticked

To further build the IC match at Extreme Rules they should have been having Big E in matches to show how strong he is as a champion…not just show him watching on the monitors. If he wins at ER it just continues his roll and makes his title reign mean something. If he loses then it makes the tourney winner that much stronger.

Guys, I have to call it an early night. Thanks for the fun night, and I’ll see you here tomorrow night for Main Event!

Danny Philippi

Was a great way to end the show. I was mentally checked out after Ric Flairs appearance. Extreme Rules should be the best pay-per-view this weekend. Hope everyone can enjoy. If not, have a safe weekend anyway. See ya next week!

Bray Wyatts promo was off the charts. First time in years I wanted to actually call people to tell them to watch RAW. Everything this man touches turns to gold. He has the passion, mic skills, and in ring ability to be a mulitple time WWE champion. #FollowtheBuzzards
